Advocates for Minnesota Student Aid

If you think that state and federal financial aid are
important in keeping Minnesota colleges affordable for low- and middle-income
families, there’s a way to show your support.

JoinAdvocates
for Minnesota Student Aid (AMSA) and speak up for strong financial aid
programs for students at all colleges around the state – two-year, four-year,
public and private. Anyone is welcome to join. Members include parents,
students, alumni, faculty and staff from local colleges and universities.

When you join AMSA, two things will happen:

·You’ll receive periodic updates about what
policymakers are considering and doing about financial aid programs like the
Minnesota State Grant program.

·You’ll receive occasional suggestions about
things you can do, like sharing your story and e-mailing legislators.

About one in four students in our state receive a Minnesota
State grant. As an AMSA member, you can help policymakers understand that an
investment in this program is critical for all of Minnesota, not just college
students. When low- and middle-income students are able to afford college, the
whole state benefits. Join AMSA today.
